The situation in Sweden as regards freedom of speech

Sharia laws in Sweden?

In a newly submitted thesis at Uppsala University called “Islamic right of inheritance in multicultural Sweden” written by Mosa Sayed, he recommends that the Islamic sharia is integrated into Swedish laws.

Many people worry and see the thesis as an evidence of the fact that Sweden is on its way to be islamized at a record high pace – when researchers and other people with a large possibility to influence more and more often are islamists.

In the thesis (see the English summary) Sayed argues for the fact that a multicultural perspective should be adopted in the Swedish law of succession. Muslims today don’t accept a law of succession where for example women and non-Muslims can inherit the property left of non-Muslims and the only solution is to change the Swedish law of succession.

Islamic succession law contains values that lack equivalence in Swedish laws and application of the law. According to the sharia law, men and women sometimes inherit different quantities of the inheritance and it is not allowed to inherit between religions. Moreover, children born by an unmarried woman don’t have any right to inherit the father and the father’s family, Mosa Sayed explains.

The multicultural starting point means that Swedish courts and authorities as much as possible ought to respect the deceased’s and the heirs’ cultural affiliation as to the application of the law. This implies that Swedish courts shall judge Muslims according to sharia laws while others are judged according to Swedish laws. Consequently, this means that homosexuals, non-Muslims and women in many parts lose their right of inheritance.

The islamic right of inheritance is in the thesis seen as a cultural imprint based on the values that are deeply rooted in the islamic sources of law, i.e. the Koran.
The tutor of the thesis was Jan Hjärpe, known for his pro-islamic point of view in debates.

The integration researcher Henrik Emilsson is not impressed. He establishes that there is an ongoing upswing for normative research in Sweden. As regards the recommendation for sharia laws, he comments on the well-known Swedish gender equality aspect.
– Different right of inheritance for men and women in Sweden? Where is the gender perspective when you need it? he writes.

As a blog owner, I wonder how many Muslims Sayed have interviewed in order to find out that all the Muslims in Sweden actually want this change. In contrast, I suspect that many Muslims have fled to Europe and Sweden in order to get rid of the oppressive side of Islam, in order to get freedom and decide for themselves how to form their own lives. What gives Sayed the right to talk for all Muslims in Sweden?
I also ask myself if this kind of research really could be called serious. What innovations are to be found here? Where is the problemizing? Where is the hypothesis? I find it more like a dictate in the way dictates are given in non-democratic Muslim countries.

Have the tax payers’ money actually been used to propagate in this way for a pseudo research that wants to impose a way of life that would hamper equality between women and men, equality before the law, which are one of the mainstays of our Swedish society. I am baffled!!

Islam and Shariah law are death to any free
country or society. One only has to look
at islamic history to see the ravages that have
been waged upon mankind since the spwaning of
Islam in the 7th century. Equality does not
exist in Islam, and never will.

Sharia law is insane and should be resisted at all costs. To come to a foreign country (Sweden in this case), and demand changes to the law because you don’t acknowledge this or that existing law in that country, is totally ignorant and has only one aim – to try to take over that country. If you don’t like the law, go home! Move to Saudi Arabia and back to the stone age mentality you so desire! Swedes: gather together and act on this mentally disturbed bunch of islamist creeping into your society. NOW!

As an American I have no problem with people wanting to practice thier own religion undisturbed. However even as a liberal I can see that there is something particularly disturbing about Islam. Right is Right and wrong is wrong….any law whether it be religious or otherwise that treats one gender as less in the eyes of society or in the eyes of God is on its own insideous.

To leave any country where you are oppressed is an admirable quality…but to bring the tools of your own oppression with you and expect them to be adopted in your newly adopted country is Insanity.

To expect that ones newly adopted country will make it the law of the land to use one standard for Muslims and another for Non-Muslims is only the starfish slipping its stomach into the shell of the clam in order to digest it with out the clam ever knowing what happened.

I have no use for organized religion….of any kind because I think they bring out the worst of tribal mentality in humans….but there is something even more vexing in Islam that can’t allow women to be themselves. Must always be covered and hidden as if they are a shame. An uncovered woman is considered and invitation to rape? What about teaching men to control themselves as modern western men do (for the most part), Many of the statements of Muslim men who do commit rape say she was asking for it. Using the exact same arguement that Child molesters use when trying to defend against being convicted of Child rape. When the child has no capacity for even understand how to invite such a move.

Islam has no tolerance for humor aimed in its direction….witness the controversy over publishing cartoons of Mohammed. If you are a Muslim and you trully want to be where you can be out from under religious oppression don’t seek to oppress others in the process…maybe you should consider that your religion needs to change or die. A very wise Bishop once said any God who can be Killed…should be killed!!

“the only solution is to change the Swedish law of succession”
the only solution?! err, i don’t think so. how about respecting and accepting the law of the country you go to? how about getting the f*ck out of a country unless you are willing to live by its rules and customs? how do you think anyone’s ideas about introducing christianity, or why not abolishing religion altogether, would (is) tolerated in muslim countries?

“Swedish courts and authorities as much as possible ought to respect the deceased’s and the heirs’ cultural affiliation as to the application of the law”
no. the law should be the same for everyone. we have already gone way to far to excuse murder, rape or whatever because oh no, he was drunk, or oh no, he was insane at the time, so we shouldn’t be so hard on him. let’s all feel pity over him and just pat him on the back. never mind he’ll rape again six months later. to go even further and soften up the law because oh no, we have to respect the fact that this rapist is a muslim and thought he was entitled to rape this woman. poor him, he’s confused, lets not make him go through the pain of a normal court, let’s have a bunch of big bearded men who we already know are totally in his favor deal with his punishment. i mean, after all, she DID show her eyes, so she really WAS asking to be raped.

“Where is the problemizing?”
exactly? there IS no problem, except for islamists who are wanting to bring down democracy, equality etc etc. this kind of nonsense research should NOT be funded by tax payers, and it should NEVER be taken seriously. it’s insane! the only problem that exists, is the problem of screwed up islamist immigrants. get rid of them, and you’ll get rid of the main problem.

“som [att] föreslå legaliserad prostitution i Saudi”
well, legalizing prostitution in saudi is no problem. you see there are already pre-printed forms to get married for a couple of hours, so, as a fine muslim man with the highest integrity, you can take your “new wife” to a room somewhere and do whatever you like to her. she’s your property now.

“Kvinnliga imamer t.ex”
exactly, what about female imams etc? isn’t it very peculiar how these conflicting arguments never seem to be an issue at all, and every time it’s to the advantage of men it’s discussed as an innocent little argument designed to soften up people’s mind about islam and sharia, so we’re all getting more willing to accept it.

Seriously, this is very dangerous stuff, and we all need to act now! islam and sharia is slowly creeping into our western society, and into ppl’s minds. religion has for way too long enjoyed privileges it has never earned and that it does not, and will never, deserve. why are ppl so blind for this?! you are all like the frogs who are put in cold water and slowly but surely being boiled because you don’t realise that the water is getting too hot, until it’s too late and your legs are not able to get you out of the hot water. wake up! if nothing else, just listen to what these islamists are saying TEHMSELVES; our aim is to populate and take over your country, so we can introduce islam and sharia. what is it that you don’t understand about that?! what are you waiting for?!

well, some are not thinking at all, others are thinking of “innocent” ways to make islam and sharia sneak into countries they want to infiltrate and take over. it’s as simple as that. unfortunately most ppl are too dumb to realise. that’s the danger of religion – it deliberately works to remove people’s ability to think rationally and logically and see what’s *actually* is going on.

this is stupid,, but wait Sweden adopt whatever it comes to them in to form of better society…. and Islam is the master of deception i have live in Sweden for many years and its going down down…just google the most common name in Norway and Sweden these days yes,, Mohamed…..

[…] Law is tolerated, if not encouraged, in other european countries as well, like the UK or Norway or Sweden. And here I was feeling like we were the barbarians in a european sea of laicism. One might even […]
